College football's regular season has come to an end, and the playoffs are right around the corner. As the college season comes to a close, it's important to know which games Eagles scouts were seen at so fans can get an idea of who the team might be trying to draft come April. Below is where scouts were visibly seen at during November's college football schedule, and which players they may have had a close eye on:
**If you need a refresher here are the games Eagles scouts attended in September and attended in October**
•November 2nd - Oregon vs. USC
Oregon
Troy Dye LB | Senior | 6'4 225lbs
Dye is a pretty good coverage guy, but gets pretty shy at times when tackling. He has the athleticism to develop into a solid player overall though.
Current Projection: 2nd-3rd Round
Shane Lemieux OG | Senior | 6'6 316lbs
The Eagles are fine with their starting guards, but they need to find some depth because Halapoulivaaiti Vaitai and Matt Pryor are unknown commodities at this point on the inside. Lemieux can be someone the team tries to develop, especially since they're likely to have 10 picks in this draft.
Current Projection: Day 3 pick
Jacob Breeland TE | Senior | 6'5 237lbs
Of course the Eagles don't need a starting tight end or even a backup, but the team likes to run 12-personnel so much that they need an effective 3rd tight end on the roster just in case Zach Ertz or Dallas Goedert get injured. We already this problem happen in the Falcons game, when Doug Pederson was going to focus on 12-personnel most of the game on offense, but a pregame injury to Goedert led to the offense struggling because of not having a contingency plan. Breeland won't be a blocker at the next level, but he can be a decent pass-catcher and that's what the Eagles would use him for.
Current Projection: 4th Round
Deommodore Lenoir CB | Junior | 5'11 190lbs
If he declares, Lenoir should hear his name called pretty early, but he could always choose to stay and try to develop into a first-round pick. He has similar strengths and weaknesses to the current Eagles corners: great at being physical but can be duped on double moves or just get beat over top on vertical routes.
Current Projection: 3rd Round
Jake Hanson C | Senior | 6'5 307lbs
Jason Kelce was a late-round pick, so why not get his possible successor in the same manner? Kelce has stated he has already been contemplating retirement, so the Eagles need to be proactive this offseason in securing a legitimate backup for him, or else Carson Wentz will suffer. Hanson could be worth a flyer, but he's the polar opposite of Kelce in that he is slow and heavy-footed.
Current Projection: Day 3 pick
USC
Christian Rector DE | Senior | 6'4 270lbs
Rector has appeared in 36 games in his career, with 13 starts. He has registered 98 tackles, including 20 for losses (with 12 sacks), three passes defended, three fumble recoveries, and a forced fumble. He isn't that flashy, but he may turn into a solid prospect worth putting an investment in if the Birds want more depth at defensive end.
Current Projection: 3rd-4th Round
Michael Pittman WR | Senior | 6'4 220lbs
Pittman has appeared in 35 games in his collegiate career (17 starts). In those games, he has recorded 70 receptions for 1,244 yards (17.8 average) with eight touchdowns. His is also solid on special teams, adding 14 tackles and three blocked punts. In addition he also returned some kicks, totaling five punt returns for 156 yards (31.2 average) with one touchdown, as well as four kickoff returns for 31 yards (7.8 average). He'll get a shot to inprove his draft stock at this year's Senior Bowl. He could end up being who the Eagles thought they were getting in Mack Hollins: a tall receiver that can contribute both on offense and on special teams.
Current Projection: 4th Round
•November 9th - Maryland vs. Ohio State
Maryland
Antoine Brooks S | Senior | 5'11 215lbs
In 42 career college games, Brooks has racked up 231 tackles (27.5 for loss), 3.5 sacks, 13 passes defended, four interceptions, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. His sheer athleticism will allow for him to move all over the defensive backfield, and maybe even play close to the line of scrimmage on Sundays.
Current Projection: 4th Round
Keandre Jones OLB | Senior | 6'3 220lbs
In his first year at Maryland, Jones shined. In 12 games, he ended up with 74 tackles (15 for loss), seven sacks, three passes defended, three forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery. His breakout year after leaving Ohio State should allow him to potentially hear his name early in the draft.
Current Projection: 3rd Round
Anthony McFarland RB | Sophomore | 5'9 198lbs
McFarland is a pure homer-run hitter out of the backfield, which is something the Eagles have been missing for quite some time. Miles Sanders has some of that ability, but if the Eagles wanted to add that special ability to their running back core, they can take a chance on McFarland somewhere on Day 3 of the Draft in April. In 22 games at Maryland, McFarland carried the ball 239 times for 1,636 yards and 12 rushing touchdowns. He added 24 receptions for 199 yards and one receiving touchdown too.
Current Projection: Day 3 Pick
Ohio State
Jeffrey Okudah | CB | Junior | 6’1 201lbs
Stop reading if you’ve heard this before: an Ohio State Buckeye corner at the top of a draft board. If you’re still reading, Okudah is a top three or four corner expected to be drafted in 2020, and the Eagles certainly need help at the position. In 27 games, Okudah has 52 tackles and two fumble recoveries.
Current Projection: 2nd Round
Malik Harrison | ILB | Senior | 6'3 240lbs
The depth at the linebacker position for the Eagles is very faint, and with Nigel Bradham aging it seems wise to want to invest a pick on a defensive signal-caller, and Harrison is certainly a solid one. In 46 games, Harrison has 171 tackles (22 for loss), eight sacks, one interception and three fumble recoveries.
Current Projection: 3rd-4th Round
Jordan Fuller S | Senior | 6’2 205lbs
Replacing the aging safety position will be a top priority this offseason for the Eagles. Fuller is an all-around athlete, but needs to work on his tackling abilities in the open field. In 46 games, Fuller has recorded 203 tackles (5.5 for loss), five interceptions, and two fumble recoveries.
Current Projection: Day 3 Pick
Damon Arnette CB | Senior | 6’0 195lbs
Arnette has the ability to play outside corner and in the slot. He doesn't have blazing speed so it feels like he'd be the equivalent of Jalen Mills or Rasul Douglas in that he is good in the short-field game but a liability if needed to cover a deep threat. In 48 games, Arnette has registered 129 tackles (four for loss), five interceptions, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery.
Current Projection: Day 3 Pick
Shaun Wade CB | Sophomore | 6’1 194lbs
Obviously with him being so young he might stay in school another year or two, but there is still a chance he declares for the 2020 draft. Most of his play comes in the slot, and he is a solid tackler and coverage guy. He'd definitely be intriguing for the Birds. In 22 games, Wade has come up with 46 tackles (three for loss), three interceptions, two forced fumbles, and one blocked kick.
Current Projection: Day 3 Pick
K.J. Hill WR | Senior | 6’0 198lbs
He has the speed and quickness current healthy Eagles receivers don't have. He is also reliable and doesn't drop passes often. He is certainly someone the Eagles should have their eye on. In 47 games, Hill has caught 171 passes for 1,972 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Current Projection: Day 3 Pick
Baron Browning ILB | Junior | 6’4 230lbs
It is likely he stays in school to build up more film and develop more, but if he does declare he would basically be a lottery item since he hasn't been the exclusive guy for the Buckeyes inside. He could either develop into a star or never really learn new traits and fully develop his abilities. In 31 career games, Browning has compiled 62 tackles (11 for loss) and four sacks.
Current Projection: Day 3 Pick
•November 9th - LSU vs. Alabama
LSU
Grant Delpit | S | Junior | 6’3 203lbs
One of the top safety prospects in this year's draft, the Eagles would be wise to invest a high draft pick on a safety with both Malcolm Jenkins and Rodney McLeod on the wrong side of 30 by the time next season comes around. If Delpit gets better at tackling during his NFL development then he'll have practically no downfalls. In 37 games at LSU, he has 187 tackles (15 for loss), 31 passes defended, five sacks, eight interceptions, one forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries.
Current Projection: 1st Round
Kristian Fulton CB | Senior | 6’0 200lbs
Even with his size, Fulton is not the best at 50/50 balls. Still, he sticks to his assignments like glue with his unmatched coverage skills. He will hear his name early in April, and the Eagles might need to invest in a high pick cornerback depending on how free agency unfolds.
Current Projection: 1st Round
Rashard Lawrence DT | Senior | 6’2 308lbs
Lawrence uses his quickness to constantly be around whoever has the ball in their hands. He could become an amazing complement to Fletcher Cox, especially with the team not having a good, healthy tackle to pair with him the past two seasons. In 41 games, Lawrence has 111 tackles (19 for loss), nine sacks, seven passes defended, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery.
Current Projection: 2nd Round
Jacob Phillips ILB | Senior | 6’4 233lbs
Phillips is a linebacker that has keen awareness that will help him turn into a potential solid starting linebacker on Sundays. He just lacks some speed that his awareness helps make up for. In 36 games, Phillips has registered 200 tackles (13 for loss), six passes defended, two sacks, one interception, and one forced fumble.
Current Projection: 3rd Round
K'Lavon Chaisson OLB | Sophomore | 6’4 233lbs
He suffered a torn ACL in 2018 which might scare some people away, but Chaisson is solid NFL prospect that can turn into a QB nightmare both as a pass rusher and potentially a coverage guy. In 23 games, he has put together 80 tackles (16 for loss), 6.5 sacks, three passes defended, and one forced fumble.
Current Projection: 3rd Round
Glen Logan DL | Junior | 6’4 309lbs
At this point Logan would be a developmental guy on the interior defensive line, but that's where the Eagles need some of the most help with their defense. In 34 career games, Logan has 80 tackles (seven for loss), 5.5 sacks, and three passes defended.
Current Projection: 5th Round
Justin Jefferson WR | Junior | 6’3 192lbs
Jefferson has has a solid career at LSU. In 32 games he has put together 135 receptions for 1,967 yards and 19 touchdowns. He is still pretty raw as a NFL prospect though, but with the Eagles struggling at the wide receiver position, he could be worth a late-round flyer.
Current Projection: 5th Round
Damien Lewis OG | Senior | 6’3 332lbs
The starting guards are fine like previously mentioned. Although it would be nice to find a guard that both the coaching staff and fans would feel comfortable playing in a game if Brandon Brooks ever has anxiety issues that come out in the future, or if Isaac Seumalo's health becomes an issues. Lewis would basically be a lottery ticket where you hope you're getting a decent player with one of your late draft picks.
Current Projection: 6th Round
Clyde Edwards-Helaire RB | Junior | 5'8 209lbs
His stature and abilities on the field might give off a Darren Sproles vibe to some fans. He does a little bit of everything for LSU: run, catch, and return kicks. In his first real action this season, CEH put up 1,785 all-purpose yards in 12 games. There's a strong chance he remains in school to up his draft stock.
Current Projection: 6th Round
Alabama
Jerry Jeudy WR | Junior | 6'1 192lbs
Pretty much the unanimous #1 wide receiver in this draft class. The only way the Eagles will have a shot at drafting him is if the team ends up losing out. Still, fantasizing Jeudy in the Eagles offense is something everyone should try doin -- It will calm your nerves.
Current Projection: 1st Round
Raekwon Davis DT | Senior | 6'7 312lbs
Another tackle that would be fun to pair with Fletcher Cox, Davis is one of the best interior defensive linemen in this draft. In 47 career games, he has registered 173 tackles (19.5 for loss), 11.5 sacks, one interception, one pass defended, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery. There's a solid chance the Eagles could have the option to draft him in the 1st round.
Current Projection: 1st Round
Anfernee Jennings DE | Senior | 6'3 259lbs
Yet another Bama player expected to be taken in the first round. The Eagles aren't that desperate to need to draft another defensive end in the 1st round, but if he is the best player available when the Eagles are on the clock it will be hard passing on him. In 53 games, he has compiled 184 tackles (34 for loss), 15 sacks, 20 passes defended, two interceptions, three forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries.
Current Projection: 1st Round
Xavier McKinney S | Junior | 6'1 200lbs
McKinney knows how to make impactful plays all over the field. In 166 career games, he has recorded 166 tackles (12 for loss), 20 passes defended, five sacks, five interceptions, five forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and one blocked kick. He would be a fantastic addition to the DB room in Philadelphia, and could become the heir to a guy like Rodney McLeod.
Current Projection: 2nd Round
Henry Ruggs III WR | Junior | 6'0 190lbs
This is the guy Eagles fans have been salivating over one DeSean Jackson was ruled out for the 2019 season. Drafting Ruggs would add the deep threat that the Eagles offense desperately needs to become effective. In 40 games, Ruggs has caught 96 balls for 1,689 yards and 24 receiving touchdowns. He also added a 75 yard rushing touchdown this season, showing that once you get the ball in his hands he will make plays.
Current Projection: 2nd Round
Dylan Moses ILB | Junior | 6'3 235lbs
Bama has produced a few productive linebackers over the years, and Moses is the next in line to become an every-down defended at the next level if he choses to leave school early for the Draft. In 26 games, Moses has 116 tackles (15.5 for loss), five sacks, one interception, two passes defended, and two forced fumbles.
Current Projection: 2nd Round
Terrell Lewis OLB | Junior | 6'5 252lbs
He has some injury concerns, but when healthy Lewis is a difference-maker. In 26 games, he has put together 58 tackles (14.5 for loss), eight sacks, three passes defended, and one fumble recovery. He'll likely convert fully into a pass rusher at the next level.
Current Projection: 2nd Round
LaBryan Ray DT | Junior | 6'5 292lbs
Ray hasn't played much this year due to a foot injury, so he might end up staying in school to improve his draft stock. In 24 career games, Ray has added 53 tackles (10 for loss), 4.5 sacks, two passes defended, and one forced fumble. If he does leave early he could become a solid interior defensive linemen that the Eagles can grab late on Day 2 of the Draft.
Current Projection: 3rd Round
Shyheim Carter CB | Senior | 6'0 191lbs
Carter might end up converting to safety at the next level, but Carter might end up being a hybrid defender like Avonte Maddox was leaving Pitt. In 49 games at Bama, Carter registered 98 tackles (six for loss), 20 passes defended, two interceptions, and two forced fumbles. He'll be picked either late on Day 2 or early on Day 3 of the Draft.
Current Projection: 3rd Round
Najee Harris RB | Junior | 6'2 230lbs
Harris' size is what the Eagles offense needs in their backfield. We've seen what Jordan Howard (6'1, 225lbs) adds to the Eagles offense, and if the team lets Howard walk in the offseason Harris might be the guy to grab. They would need another thunder back to pair with Miles Sanders' lighting abilities. In 41 games, Harris has carried the ball 363 times for 2,241 yards and 18 touchdowns in the ground. He can also catch the ball out of the backfield, adding 37 receptions for 356 yards and seven receiving touchdowns.
Current Projection: 4th Round
Trevon Diggs CB | Senior | 6'2 207lbs
Diggs sounds like a cornerback that Jim Schwartz would love -- big bodied and physical. Although his physicality leads to penalties and getting beat deep (which also sounds like what the Eagles currently have at CB). If Schwartz keeps his job and one/both of Jalen Mills and Ronald Darby leave this offseason, Diggs would likely be a target for the Birds in the middle rounds. In 46 games, Diggs has 68 tackles, 21 passes defended, four interceptions, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries.
Current Projection: 4th Round
DeVonta Smith WR | Junior | 6'1 175lbs
Smith has had a solid collegiate career thus far, catching 115 passes in 40 games for 2,053 yards and 22 touchdowns. Still, he lacks a lot of the traits that makes a wide receiver prospect desirable. He would only be worth a late-round flyer.
Current Projection: 7th Round
•November 9th - New Hampshire vs. James Madison
James Madison
Rashad Robinson CB | Senior | 5'11 188lbs
A rare FCS product that is getting a lot of buzz. Robinson will be drafted somewhere in the middle of the upcoming draft, and most analysts feel he will turn into a solid pro. In 48 games, Robison has compiled 139 tackles (6.5 for loss), 13 interceptions, 35 passes defended, three sacks, two forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, and one blocked kick. He can become a true ballhawk at the next level if he continues putting up those high numbers of passes defended and total interceptions.
Current Projection: 3rd Round
•November 9th - Appalachian State vs. South Carolina
App State
Akeem Davis-Gaither LB | Senior | 6'2 215lbs
His pursuit abilities will allow him to be an asset both on defense and on special teams in the NFL. In 54 collegiate games, ADG has 239 tackles (27 for loss), 16 passes defended, 7.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, one interception, and one blocked kick. The Eagles certainly need better depth at linebacker moving forward, and maybe they will address that late in this year's draft.
Current Projection: 6th Round
Victor Johnson OG | Senior | 6'5 295lbs
It was mentioned few times already that the starting guards are fine. We don't know how the team feels about their backup guards, so the depth might be addressed in this year's draft. Johnson would basically be a lottery ticket where you hope you're getting a NFL-caliber player with a late pick.
Current Projection: 6th Round
South Carolina
Javon Kinlaw DT | Senior | 6'6 310lbs
Kinlaw is already a disruptive force on the interior d-line, and he still has room to grow with his potential. Like previously mentioned, the defense has struggled without a competent DT next to Fletcher Cox to help disrupt quarterbacks. Howie Roseman might have finally had enough of that and will invest in a defensive tackle early in the 2020 Draft. In 37 career games, Kinlaw has 93 tackles (18 for loss), 10.5 sacks, 10 passes defended, three forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, and three blocked kicks.
Current Projection: 2nd Round
Bryan Edwards WR | Senior | 6'3 215lbs
Earlier this season Edwards surpassed Alshon Jeffery for the most receiving yards in South Carolina program history. He could end up becoming Alshon's heir on the Birds since #17 is likely to remain an Eagle for one more season, and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside not showing much yet in his rookie season. He has some skills, but ultimately lacks the physicality you'd want in a potential go-to receiver. In 48 games, Edwards has 234 receptions for 3,045 yards and 22 touchdowns.
Current Projection: 5th Round
D.J. Wonnum DE | Senior | 6'5 260lbs
He missed a lot of games his Junior year with an ankle injury, but when he is on the field he knows how to get into the backfield and bring down quarterbacks. In 43 career games, Wonnum recorded 137 tackles (29.5 for loss), 14 sacks, six passes defended, one interception, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and two blocked kicks. If the Eagles don't add a pass rusher early, D.J. would be a fantastic add late in the draft.
Current Projection: 6th Round
•November 9th - Washington State vs. Cal
Washington State
Frederick Mauigoa C | Senior | 6'4 310lbs
At the conclusion of the 2018 season, Jason Kelce said he was contemplating retirement, and is judging his future on a "year-to-year basis". With that much uncertainty moving forward, it's best for the team to try and get a competent center to take over in case Kelce retires this offseason or after 2020. If the team doesn't want to invest a high draft pick on a center, Mauigoa could be a guy Roseman takes a chance on late in the draft.
Current Projection: 6th Round
Anthony Gordon QB | Senior | 6'3 210lbs
The Eagles completely whiffed on Clayton Thorson this past draft, and now he is on the Cowboys practice squad. Still, it seems like the team would like to add a developmental QB via the draft, and Gordon certainly fits that mold. After this season Josh McCown is likely to go back into retirement, and Nate Sudfeld is a free agent. So Carson Wentz's backup for 2020 is currently unknown. In 14 games as a Cougar, Gordon completed 420 passes for 4,937 yards and 45 touchdowns with just 14 interceptions.
Current Projection: 6th Round
Cal
Ashtyn Davis S | Senior | 6'1 200lbs
Davis is a star in two sports (he runs hurdles on Cal's track & field team). He'll have to give up hurdling though as his future certainly looks bright in the NFL. He will be a Day 2 pick in this year's draft, and would be a solid addition to the safety's room at the NovaCare Complex. He has range all over the field, as well as the versatility to line up in multiple spots on defense. In his career at Cal, Davis has played in 49 games, providing 171 tackles (2.5 for loss), 19 passes defended, seven interceptions, three forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries.
Current Projection: 2nd Round
Evan Weaver ILB | Senior | 6'3 235lbs
Weaver is a tackling machine for the Bears. He seems to always be the one tackling the guy with the ball, no matter who has it. In 49 games, Weaver has registered 403 tackles (23 for loss), 8.5 sacks, 13 passes defended, two interceptions, and three forced fumbles. The linebacker depth in Philadelphia is especially weak, and the team certainly needs to address inside linebacker this offseason. Spending a mid-round pick on Weaver might not be a bad investment.
Current Projection: 3rd Round
•November 23rd - Penn State vs. Ohio State
Penn State
Yetur Gross-Matos DE | Junior | 6'5 242lbs
YGM is an athletic freak of nature, and with the other defensive ends on the roster outside of Brandon Graham not producing, the Eagles might be forced to draft a defensive lineman early. Remember Jim Schwartz's defense is only good if the defensive line can create pressure, which Gross-Matos certainly can do. In 37 games, Gross-Matos racked up 110 tackles (36 for loss), 18 sacks, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery.
Current Projection: 1st Round
K.J. Hamler WR | Junior | 5'9 165lbs
All Nittany Lions fans and alumni were happy after the Eagles 2019 draft, which resulted in Miles Sanders and Shareef Miller staying in the Keystone State. Those fans were right about Sanders so far, and now most are foaming at the mouth thinking about Hamler in the Eagles offense. He could effectively jump right in and take Nelson Agholor's role in the slot in 2020. He might be limited to the slot role due to his size, but he has big play abilities. Doug Pederson could also do some sweep plays just to get the ball in his hands and use his acceleration. In just 25 games, Hamler has put together 96 receptions for 1,612 yards and 13 receiving touchdowns. He has also added 15 rushing attempts for 73 yards and one touchdown on the ground. On kick and punt returns, Hamler has also added a combined 1,234 yards.
Current Projection: 3rd Round
Cam Brown ILB | Senior | 6'5 222lbs
Taking a linebacker from Linebacker University might be a smart move. Brown isn't as established as his successors, but he could still wind up being an effective man in the middle of the field at the next level. He seems to prefer forcing fumbles rather than securing tackles, which could become his downfall if he doesn't develop his tackling abilities. In 50 games at PSU, Brown put together 196 tackles (15 for loss), five sacks, 10 passes defended, four forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and one blocked kick.
Current Projection: Day 3 Pick
•November 23rd - Ohio State vs. Michigan
Michigan Ben Bredeson OG | Senior | 6'5 325lbs
It's doubtful the Eagles would want to spend a high pick on an interior offensive lineman, but it's worth considering just because of Brooks' anxiety problems which can pop up without a moment's notice, or if Seumalo starts playing poorly it'd better to have a competent backup ready to jump into action. Bredeson is likely to become a starting level guard at the next level, and has great size for a prototypical interior o-lineman.
Current Projection: 2nd Round
Lavert Hill CB | Senior | 5'11 2182lbs
He doesn't have the size for what you want in an outside corner, but he certainly plays well out there. He is still able to get his hands on the ball and disrupt plays when teams try to take advantage of his (lack of) height. In 45 career games, Hill has accumulated 56 tackle (seven for loss), 28 passes defended, six interceptions, and one fumble recovery.
Current Projection: 3rd Round
Shea Patterson QB | Senior | 6'2 202lbs
Like mentioned earlier, with Nate Sudfeld's free agency pending there is some uncertainty on who will be Carson Wentz's backup in 2020. The team tried out Clayton Thorson in this past draft, but that was a failure. Patterson could become the backup if the Eagles decide to use a mid-round pick and try to develop him. In 25 games, Patterson has completed 407 passes for 5,428 yards and 44 touchdowns with 13 interceptions.
Current Projection: 4th Round
Tarik Black WR | Junior | 6'3 215lbs
Injuries have limited his time on the field to prove himself. Still, analysts feel he has the tools to develop into a solid receiver in the NFL (even without a ton of tape to look at). He uses his 6'3 frame to be physical, which is what you like to see on the field. In 21 games, Black has produced 40 receptions for 507 yards and two touchdowns.
Current Projection: 5th Round
Jon Runyan OG | Senior | 6'5 321lbs
Even though guard isn't a dire need, it'd be pretty cool to see the Eagles end up with the son of an Eagles legend. His genes as well as coaching form his dad has brought him to this point, so maybe he will turn out to be fairly decent at the next level. There are a lot of sons of Eagles players of the early 2000s who we will be seeing drafted in the coming years, just in case you needed to be reminder you are old now.
Current Projection: 5th Round
Donovan Peoples-Jones WR | Junior | 6'2 208lbs
DPJ has big play abilities and is excellent with carving up some YAC. He is able to track balls well on deep throws, something this current Eagles team isn't good at doing. In 36 games, Peoples-Jones has 102 receptions for 1,293 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns. He also has 85 rushing yards on just eight rushing attempts.
Current Projection: 5th Round
Nico Collins WR | Junior | 6'4 222lbs
His frame and lack of speed makes him likely to become primarily just a redzone threat at the next level. He needs to work on his route running if he wants to be an every down receiver on Sundays. In 28 games, Collins has managed 74 receptions for 1,340 yards and 13 touchdowns.
Current Projection: 5th Round
Khaleke Hudson S/LB | Senior | 6'0 220lbs
Hudson is a versatile defender that will likely play a hybrid role in the NFL. His athleticism allows him to cover big areas of the field. Might be worth the late selection with Malcolm Jenkins likely to start slowing down since we haven't discovered ways to stop father time. He is also an elite kick blocker on special teams, which will help him ultimately make the 53-man roster. In 50 games at Michigan, Hudson recorded 232 tackles (26 for loss), 12 sacks, 16 passes defended, two interceptions, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and five blocked kicks.
Current Projection: 6th Round
Josh Uche OLB | Senior | 6'2 250lbs
In his final year at Michigan, Uche had a breakout. He was able to make quarterbacks miserable anytime they would seen him on the field. He will likely shift to a pure pass rusher at the next level. In 38 career games, Uche racked up 55 tackles (20.5 for loss), 16.5 sacks, three passes defended, three forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery.
Current Projection: 6th Round
Michael Onwenu OG | Senior | 6'3 350lbs
Out of all the other late-round guards mentioned, Onwenu might be the most likely to be on the Eagles radar. His athleticism is something this team would like due to Doug Pederson's fondness of screens being involved in his offense.
Current Projection: 6th Round
